Some scientists speculate that the universe will some day collapse. However, London’s Daily Telegraph reports: “New evidence that the Universe will continue to expand forever, so that life could go on existing almost for eternity, was presented by a team of astronomers.” This team of astronomers made up of British, Australian and Chinese, went on to show that the “universe cannot, after all, collapse under its own weight, as many scientists have predicted.” In harmony with this conclusion, the Bible shows, at Isaiah 40:26, that Jehovah God is the Source of dynamic energy, and Psalm 90:2 shows that he is eternal.
. Are we to think that the loving God would create such an awesome universe, meticulously prepare the earth for human habitation, then allow the universe to come together in a mass and thus destroy it all? That is not in any way consistent with His stated purpose. God’s Word declares that the “One who firmly established” the earth “did not create it simply for nothing,” but “formed it even to be inhabited.”—Isa. 45:18.
